<strong>weight-classed strength sport and Olympic Games event<\/strong>. In weightlifting competitions, athletes perform two barbell-only exercises; the <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/snatch\/\">snatch<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/clean-and-jerk\/\">clean &amp; jerk<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both events entail <strong>moving a loaded barbell from the floor to being held overhead at arm&#8217;s length<\/strong>. Athletes who compete in weightlifting are ranked on the sum of their heaviest successful snatch and clean &amp; jerk, which is called a Total. Out of all major strength sports, weightlifting is widely considered to be the most intricate to learn, due to the complex techniques of its two movements. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-30 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-section-header is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-kicker\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-kicker\" id=\"more-in-weightlifting\">More in Weightlifting<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"flex-row wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-276073 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-news category-competition-results category-pushly category-weightlifting tag-parent-topic-strength-exercise tag-pushly tag-sport-weightlifting entry\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/2024-olympics-results-weightlifting\/\" target=\"_self\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"2024 Olympics Weightlifting Results: Live Updates + Schedule\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-120x68.jpg 120w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568-489x275.jpg 489w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Untitled-design-2024-07-29T162516.568.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title has-xx-large-font-size\" class=\"wp-block-post-title has-xx-large-font-size\" id=\"2024-olympics-weightlifting-results-live-updates-schedule\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/2024-olympics-results-weightlifting\/\" target=\"_self\">2024 Olympics Weightlifting Results: Live Updates + Schedule<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt has-medium-small-font-size\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">The 2024 Olympics beckon the world\u2019s best weightlifters to Paris, France.
